UppaBaby Vista

Everyone has different needs. I live in the city, so my needs are different than someone with a house. I happen to have a car, but there are more miles on my stroller than on my car. People here talk about an expensive stroller being a status symbol, but I've been using my Vista for over 5 years...and when the frame cracked about 4 years in, they sent me a brand new one immediately. It's bulky, but I like how it converted to a double because I kne

Love my UppaBaby travel system. We have a single level house so we just used the bassinet from the travel system as her bassinet and rolled it around the house as needed throughout the day. Used the rumble seat for walks, used the car seat for when we drove somewhere. Super convenient and for the first few weeks it was always in use except during breastfeeding and diaper changes.

I have the UPPAbaby Vista 3, Bassinet V3 + Aria and I'm super happy with it!

I think this depends on what city you live in and how much walking you'll be doing day-to-day. We have and love our Vista (LOVED the bassinet but baby outgrew it by 3 months) and have taken it to DC a few times with no issues but it was a pain to have in NYC (smaller doorways, lots of subway stations had elevator outages). You say you have a car so maybe public transportation doesn't apply! Before having a baby I scoffed at people who said you need multiple strollers, but now I totally get it

There's definitely an overwhelming amount of options… You can definitely do a combo one that's the car seat and stroller like the Doona. I think this is best for people who live in big cities or travel a lot. I personally don't think they're worth it.. you gotta buy a new car seat and stroller when they get bigger. You could get a bigger, travel system which is a good deal. Something like an UPPABaby vista or a mockingbird for a more budget friendly option with a car seat adapter is very nice

Agreed with the comments that it is VERY lifestyle dependent. We live in a city, walking miles a day, use a car about once a week, so wanted something durable. We also knew we would likely try for a second child relatively quickly, so wanted something that could turn into double stroller. We went with the Uppababy Vista, it has been perfect for our needs. But if I was in/out of the car more, walking less, I would have gone with a lighter stroller.

I highly recommend looking for second hand options. We got an UppaBaby Cruz V1 in 2022 for $200 on Facebook marketplace. Tag says it was made in 2018 and the thing is a tank. It came with the bassinet and I bought a new UppaBaby car seat to go with it. We are expecting baby 2 now and will have a 27-month age gap. I plan on buying the new UppaBaby Minu Duo to use with both kids.

We decided to go with the uppababy vista. I wanted something that was sturdy and smooth. I got the bassinet attachment and will be doing the nuna pipa car seat with it. I was not impressed with all the graco and nuna strollers. They felt very flimsy when I tried them in stores.

Fellow apartment dweller (3rd floor walkup turned elevator building last year thank god). I actually had the Vista for about 8 months and don't get me wrong it's a solid stroller. Great storage, super sturdy, and if you're planning multiple kids it has that expandability. BUT I did end up switching to the Orbit Baby system and don't regret it one bit, the main difference being the rotating seat. Sounds small but the little moments it helps with (feeding, car changes) 4-5 times a day add u

The vista is a very wide and heavy stroller! Definitely would opt for at least the Cruz if you really are set on it. We live in London and use the Stokke Yoyo
